Aynur
International für Furore sorgt die alevitische Bardin Aynur mit ihren gesellschaftskritischen Texten sowie ihrer Kunst zwischen kurdischer Tradition und musikalischer Offenheit. «Geschichte» und «Geschichten» erzählen ihre Lieder, deren Texte aus ihrem Umfeld, von alten Menschen, aus Archiven und teilweise auch von ihr selbst stammen. Mittlerweile hat sie sich auch außerhalb der Türkei einen Namen gemacht; Auftritte in ganz Europa und darüber hinaus beweisen die Universalität ihrer eindrucksvollen Musiksprache.

Aynur
Over the years Aynur has become one of the most well known musicians from Turkey and a representative for the Kurdish people. Her vocal style and her albums are praised not just in Turkish media but also in international media. She is one of the best sellers with her albums among Kurdish folk albums.
Aynur’s music is based on traditional Kurdish folk songs, many of them at least 300 years old. Musically she tries to blend Kurdish with Western music, interpreting her traditional repertoire in a modern way. She has collaborations with famous musicians and bands like world-renowned cellist YO-YO MA and Silk Road Ensemble, Kayhan Kalhor, Javier Limon, Kinan Azmeh, Salman Gambarov, Cemil Qocgiri, Morgenland All Star Band, Nerderland Blazers Ensemble. Meanwhile she appeared in Fatih Akın’s documentary movie “İstanbul Hatırası / Köprüyü Geçmek-Crossing the bridges” as a singer and also appeared at documentary film about Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble named “The music of Strangers” directed by Morgan Neville in 2015
